On reading the Bill, it occurs to me that the Government anticipate making one order, and then that is it. But if you are going to use these prescribed percentages from the point of view of population, as the Minister just said, this will vary over time. One usually gets an idea of the population of a particular part of the United Kingdom from the decennial census, although there are other ways of achieving this. Not only that, but currently relative poverty, we are told, has been rising over the past two or three years and, as far as the amendment of the noble Lord, Lord Newby, is concerned, this will also change over time in particular areas of the country. So how often does the Minister anticipate laying these orders?
